This paper presents a novel control approach, based on the interconnection and damping-assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC), to achieve stable and periodic walking for underactuated planar biped robots with one degree of underactuation. The system's physical structure is preserved by assigni…
In modern robotics, the manipulators are no longer isolated under fully controlled conditions but rather conceived to work in unconstrained environments. Under these operations, compliant control and passivity properties of the robot are of great importance, and thus the system’s energy function pla…
In this paper, we address the problem of stabilisation of robots subject to nonholonommic constraints and external disturbances using port-Hamiltonian theory and smooth time-invariant control laws. This should be contrasted with the commonly used switched or time-varying laws. We propose a control d…
